Trip to the salt mine
Don't worry Mike Once you get to the US and have some time on your hands we could figure out something.

Thanks for the comments guys It was scary at times going on the balcony of the main chamber.

Welcome to the IHoP
What's the biggest tires you feel comfortable running with 4.10's ? And I can't figure out how 90% of the 4x4 owners here don't believe in re-gearing. 'OMG, you can't run 33's, you won't have power.' Idiots..that's what re-gearing is for. Some numbnutz even installed lower gears for extra 'wheel speed' and wondered why his Toyota was sluggish. 35" tires tops with the 4.10's, and the enemic 2.1 low on the NP205. I would love to do a Lo-max kit on the tranfer case, makiing it 4.1 low. I would probably do 4.88's for the 39-40" range. I am not into rock crawling though, more just a trail rig. Although the trails here are very rocky with the occasional wall climb. LMAO at the "sluggish" comment. Be happy you've got a 2.1:1 on the NP205, some smaller 4x4's have as little as 1.3:1 IIRC. 4:1 would work perfect for rocks.

The Razorback cover is 3/8" steel plate, so the ribs problably aren't necessary. The front is where I really need one of these, as the d60 is huge and I would hate to destroy its internals on a rock. Time for bigger tires. It didn't look that thick from this angle Theres a clip on youtube, some rednecks trashing a buggy with a D60 front, the amount of abuse it got was absurd. I hope you are going for 37+ I would love to do some 39"-40" meats, but will need to re-gear at the same time, as I am only rocking 4.10's right now.

I was actually looking at Rockwells the other day. $500 for a rear Rockwell sounds like a steal If you want to run 44"+ tires, without breaking things, you can't go wrong with the Rockwells. Plus the top loader centers are killer for raising teh shaft. With my 29's I think the pumpkin would scrape everything. I know somebody with a custom buggy, some 500-odd ci v8, 54's and Rockwells. That thing is badass.

Today was productive, cleared the snow off a 500 yard dirt road, also leveled it a bit in the process. Easy $100 in the pocket

I put mine into thermal overload twice two weeks ago. Putting in a pound of veal, pork fat, pork, ice and 4oz of water wasn't so nice. I don't have a cuisinart though so how else could I make Weisswurst. You guys need a Blendtec total blender

Lincoln locker FTW. I prefer Miller. In that case mine would be a Dalex

There's a very cool clip on youtube about that

I'd like to see extra strength horizontally though, since that's how the case flexes most. Not that the 14bolt would flex much
-
Welcome to the IHoP
The other advantage of the 14b is the threaded carrier preload adjusters, instead of shims. The Detroit was the only locker available for the 14b when I did mine. Being a full size rig, the Detroit has pretty good road manners for me. I would love to do a selectable in my front d60 thought. Besides being a huge chunk of metal which is hard to hurt ARB, OX make selectables for the D60 but they are all expensive

Don't forget to take pics ! Definetly. Seeing your salt mine pics makes me want to breakout my pics from my trip to Carlsbad Caverns last year. Whatca waiting for ? Most of mine suck because of the light.

Did you ever check to make sure the valve stem wasn't to blame? Like I explained before. Lincoln locker FTW. Haven't had time for in-depth checks For the last month, all my free time was spent working. Even the short off-road drive today was to check a road that I need to clear tomorrow with the backhoe. Yeah, Lincoln locker FTW offroad....on the street FTL. I've ridden in a car with a lunchbox locker, it felt just like it was Lincoln locked. LIke I said before, when my tire was doing this it was a small split where the stem go's through the rim. You should be able to bend it over by hand and tell real quick. My 14bolt was easy to lock up with the Detroit, but only because it re-used the factory carrier and all I had to do was re-set the backlash. A D44 would be perfect for your rig, good luck finding one. Detroit is not a full-case in the 14b, that's your main advantage. I really want selectable and that means OX, not worth it in the Dana 35. All the Ssangyong's with solid rear axles run on D44's, plenty and cheap here but I don't know the width...yet My other option is Ford 8.8, it's a tad narrower than the D35 though...

Welcome to the IHoP
Other than that...I need to find a rear Dana 44 so I can get a good locker. Not worth putting money to lock the current rear axle.

Welcome to the IHoP
For 2 weeks the wheel lost zero air. Took it for a drive today, started to leak again. Went an hour offroad and it was 4 psi lower than when I left home. Fuck exams, I want to sort out shit but my hands are tied.

what does it take to get 150dB @ 25Hz?
It's like pissing in the wind
